In My Mother's Eyes

In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her words I feel protection In her smile I see my face Because She has loved me first before anybody else She carried me till the ninth month so very close to heart She breathed life into my lungs Held my hand within her palms Showed me guidance in every way Made me who I am today In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her words I feel protection In her smile I see my face Her arms are always open so I can curl within For her I'm always special Without my need to win Her soul ever a rainbow in hues of humankind For She carries no prejudice amongst the black and white. In my mother's eyes I see my hero I know fear is far at bay In her words I feel protection In her smile I see my face Our days , lunchbox of memories filled with tender loving care Past nights, eternal bookmarks of her fingers playing gently with my hair. I know one time I'll wake up in a world of all alone In the stars I'd have to find her because mama won't be home. In my mothers eyes I see my hero knowing fear is far at bay In her words I feel protection In her smile I see my face. Not for the contest , but for those interested there is a contest about mum by Francine Roberts.

Tender affection, lifelong protection, your heart has not forgotten it's beautiful root Charma. I feel so sensitive, and safe in this poem. Marvelous poetic sentiments throughout, "In her words I feel protection...eternal bookmarks of her fingers gently playing with my hair." Just beautiful my Lady Hawk...J.A.B.

How fortunate are we who have known our mothers' love. This is beautiful, and I particularly like the line "Because she has loved me first, before anyone else." Beautiful heartfelt tribute.

I can tell that your mother meant the world to you, and it shows ... a very sincere dedication to Mom. Your third to last was the most sentimental stanza for me with the "lunchbox of memories" ...
